Print to file.
sRGB
I've tried 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, & 16x20 since that's what I've ordered today.  Paper is same size as print.
300 dpi
I leave the background color as black because I also use templates for doing 8.5 x 11 proof sheets.  Not applicable when print is the same size as the paper.

Open Qimage.
It's always on "print to file" so I never change it.
Add file (.PSD) to queue.
If aspect ratio is not 4x6, then I click on the full page editor and crop.  Sometimes I use precision crop, other times just the crop controls.  Click Done.
If Interpolation is set the way I want (usually Hybrid), then I use "<Ctrl><P>" to start the print.
Select the target folder and let it print to the file.
When done, I have Qimage set to ask me if I want to clear the queue but when this error happens, it never gets to that question.

I tried an 8-bit PSD and a JPG.  Same results.

I might try an uninstall/reinstall or perhaps an older version.

Thanks for your time.

First time I've tried printing to file under Win 7 64 bit and I'm also getting Range Check Error as QI (Studio Edition) v 2010.104 processes the first file.  I'm printing 12x8 300 ppi files with sRGB profile.

I'll try Mike's suggestions and report back.

When I restarted QI it has already reset itself to a default state and lost my settings, off to try some more.

It no longer retains my monitor profile and is advising me each time I start up that the Windows and QI monitor profiles are mismatched, it's also asking each time if I want to take the tour. :-(

I can now only run QI by selecting Run as Administrator (even though I'm currently logged in as an administrator) so the initial failure has certainly caused some 'damage' to the QI installation.  Reset print options, disabled anti-virus software but still getting Range check error as QI processes the first file.  After clicking to acknowledge the range check error when I try to close QI I receive an I/O error 103, second and further attempts to close QI gives I/O error 32 - the only way to get out is File>Exit without saving settings.  I also had these errors after the first failure.

Many thanks for the suggestions / screenshots.  I've reinstalled QI, it's back to being 'stable' and saving my settings.

Unfortunately I'm still getting the Range check error on the first file when I try and print to file but I'm no longer receiving the I/O errors when I try to subsequently exit QI.

I guess I'm going to have to use my XP laptop to get this current batch of work completed.

I wonder if other people are able to print to file from QI under Win 7 64 bit?  It would be really helpful to know if this is a general or local issue.  From past posting on the old group it seems only a small percentage of users actually use print to file to prepare files for lab printing, most seem to use QI to print to physical printers, I'm not having any problems printing to my printer from QI under Win 7 64 just the problem with print to file.

Thanks for getting back.  I did disable the anti-virus software (McAfee) but no change.  Everything was working fine under Vista 64, it's the same machine with the same antivirus etc just an upgrade to Win7 64.  My XP laptop is currently reading the same files via the network, processing them in QI and writing files to the same output directory on my Win 7 machine without problems.

I'll have to patiently wait and see if anyone else is experiencing similar problems, at least I have a work around for the time being and it fails writing the first file under Win 7 so I don't have to wait to see if it's going to fail.

Hi Mike

Just a quick test trying to print three images to file as jpg, it failed on the first file.

I've attached some screen shots.

I'll try some alternative output formats and report back.

Stephen

It's creating TIF output files without problem.

It's creating BMP output files without problem.

It only seems to be a problem creating JPG output files.

Hope this helps.

Mike

No difference when I try to print to a new folder or existing folder or to a new folder on a different drive.

I just tried processing a single file and the status bar at the bottom right of QI reached 100% with Finished Processing below and then the Range check error appeared the output file has been created.  It looks like the error is appearing after the first file has been written.

The PrtrICC is also having an effect, if I select sRGB, Adobe98 or the custom lab profile then the print to file (as jpg) fails, however if I select a CanonBJ profile the print to file works.
